This is probably the hardest part for the UA, one of the reasons it
might not be possible (but I could be mistaken).
"text that doesn't fit" means all the lines of text that don't fit
completely within the specified 'height' and 'width' of the box, with
their specified 'font-size', 'line-height' combination.
(I'm not sure if the breaks the current 'overflow' mechanism.)
